Mariners use 5-run inning to rally past Blue Jays for wild 9-8 victory

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:52:55 GMT

SEATTLE (AP) — There seems enough evidence at this point that the expectation should be when Seattle and Toronto get together, it’s likely to have some wild swings of momentum and be tightly contested. It was that way in the regular season and playoffs last year. And it’s continued this season with Saturday the latest example as the Mariners used a five-run seventh inning against Toronto’s bullpen to rally for a 9-8 victory over the Blue Jays. J.P. Crawford and Teoscar Hernández both had two-run doubles as the Blue Jays and Mariners played a game of wild momentum swings, clutch hits and big moments that left the heavily mixed crowd of fans from both teams highly entertained.“Anytime we can sneak out a win like that against anyone it’s huge — especially with a good team like they are,” Crawford said. “It’s a good sign for our team these last two days playing really, really good ball.”The teams combined for seven home runs, including each side enjoying a three-...

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP) — With the lush, green Allegheny Mountains providing a picturesque backdrop, the Cleveland Browns began preparing for an upcoming season they hope doesn’t go down hill.Looking to avoid outside distractions and perhaps forge better chemistry among players, the team opened training camp Saturday at The Greenbrier Resort, a swanky vacation spot used by other NFL teams in the past.Home, for the moment, is West Virginia’s country roads.“We’re landlocked here,” coach Kevin Stefanski said after the team took a short flight from Ohio and held a one-hour practice under partly sunny skies. “We’re in the middle of nowhere by design, so it forces you to be around your teammates.”The Browns, who have held camp in Berea, Ohio, since 1992, will spend eight days at the remote location, giving them ample time to ramp up for their Aug. 3 exhibition matchup against the New York Jets in the Hall of Fame game in Canton.The first few days will be relatively l...
